The enormous amount of IO, especially the PCIe lanes is definitely the best feature. If I had one I’d set up a sweet server for everything. Tons of pretty powerful cores and all the pcie would make an amazing Proxmox machine.

Feel free to create something that satisfies all those requirements. Immich is the best and closest replacement to Google Photos that exists currently.

I never integrated HA with Frigate so I’m not sure on that aspect. I think it just tends to be slow in HA.

But here’s my config/guide: https://github.com/Bytelake/Coral-in-LXC

I think it’s possible with a few HP tiny/mini/micro pcs, but aside from that, nothing but a few Minisforum models and the high end NUCs which make no sense anyway.

Yep. Passed through the Coral to the LXC

Hetzner is pretty cheap, easy to use, and fairly powerful.

I’m running Frigate in an LXC on Proxmox. It works pretty well.
